Luigi Pizzaleo: “Illudio V” for piano and live electronics (2013)
Lorenzo Meo, piano

Composer's note: “Illudio” is an invented Italian word deriving from “illudere” (approximately deceive, delude, even though the meanings are not perfectly the same) in the same way as “preludio” (prelude) derives from “preludere” (to precede, to come before). Seven “illudi” have been written so far. In this one, the fifth, for piano and electronics, I essayed some behaviours of the piano which I perceived as archetypal, but I assigned no particular relevance to the musical material (pitches, durations, structures of pitches and durations and so on) which is used in the piano gestures I experimented in this piece. That’s why one cannot find any thematic statement or dynamic evolution of the musical material. Such aspects of the composition are committed to electronic tools (delays with variable delay time, modulated pitch shifters, filters), by means of which the sound is multiplied and distorted as the perspectives of a cubist painting.
